I have never been a fan of this paper towel method unless I am checking on germination of a particular seed. I don't like the idea of transplanting delicate, newly sprouted seeds and it can also encourage the growth of mold.
I just plants seeds shallowly in a sterile soiless mix that I buy in any store (no favorite) and I have never had a problem. This takes the guesswork out of how deep to plant the sprouted seeds from a paper towel.
I only grow about 20 plants though. I am not a commercial grower.
